Google Reviews
Es el templo budista más importante de los 5 Grandes Templos Zen, jardines increíbles, la segunda puerta Sanmon más grande de la ciudad y además tiene un acueducto, algo que le da un toque único.
Diría que sus jardines y vistas con más hermosas que las del dorado. Este templo de playa es un lugar el que vale la pena visitar por sus vistas, jardines largos y demás quede impresionado . Fui bastante temprano tipo 8 por lo cual no tuve que hacer cola para entrar y si deseas te pueden sellar tu libro con un sello vale la pena y lo recomiendo
Muy bueno para sentarse a la sombra y observar las libélulas. Aparcamiento de bicis hay.
